Our designated Charity 2026/27
Royal Star & Garter (Registered Charity 210119) is a charity that provides loving, compassionate care and support for veterans and their families, living with disability or dementia. For further information please do see our website - Royal Star & Garter - Royal Star & Garter.
We are delighted to have been chosen by West Sussex County Short Mat Bowls Association as their charity partner for 2027. All sums raised will be put to good use, by us, in supporting veterans and their families.
Our mission is to provide outstanding care and support that recognises the needs of veterans and their families. We have an ambitious 10-year strategy to extend our services into the community whilst continuing to provide the support we do from our 4 homes in Worthing, Surbiton, High Wycombe and Solihull. As well as expanding our existing offering for day care, lunch clubs and telephone friendship services.
As well as providing long-term care and support to our residents, all of our homes offer end of life care accredited by the Gold Standards Framework. Our Worthing Home, previously Care for Veterans, also focuses on the care and rehabilitation of residents which includes care for acquired brain injury and degenerative neurological conditions.
We also established the Veteran Friendly Framework (VFF), a programme designed for use in residential settings for older people, which helps care providers to offer appropriate support for the thousands of veterans living in care homes across England.
We constantly evolve our services and innovate in our care to meet the needs of our Armed Forces family, just as we have for more than 100 years.
